About
Jessica Warren

I spent my twenties doing useful things I thought I "should" do: a Biology degree from Bristol University, chartered accountancy at PwC, a career in corporate finance and startup fundraising. It looked successful from the outside, but I often felt lost. I didn't know what my purpose was, but knew deep down that I wasn't living it.

Learning to connect better, in close relationships and community, to myself (intuition, body and mind) and to nature and spirit in the everyday, put me on a new track. I trained as a meditation teacher, reiki master and life coach and co-founded Mind: Unlocked, teaching mindfulness to stressed-out London professionals. Later, I built a women's circle community to share what I was learning. I kept studying and completed a masters in Psychology; my dissertation on why UK birthrates are falling is heading for journal publication.

Most of us are taught to look after what can be measured (careers, savings, fitness), while connection, intuition and rest get whatever energy is left over. This is why I write about Science & Soul together: I believe that the soulful parts of life deserve the same respect we give the scientific ones, and the feminine aspects the same value as the masculine in all of us. I especially write for millennials who, like me, grew up in interesting times, want to succeed in life and work, and leave the world a little better than how they found it. Everyone is welcome here - I'm still working things out myself.
